Well, pretty much all the amazing GoPro footage you see online is recorded in its highest bitrate and resolution so that you can edit in post and get the most out of its information. Viewing it whatever resolution will just come down to internet speed and display quality. Most people will record in its highest quality but not export in the same setting.
Air Photography, this is not a limitation of the HERO9 Black. It's actually a limitation of Photos in iOS. The maximum resolution for video supported in Photos currently is 4K. This is why the GoPro App has to convert any video exported to Photos into 4K. Your workaround is a good idea because it goes through Files instead of Photos. If you try to export that 5K clip from LumaFusion, the maximum resolution to Photos is still 4K unfortunately.
This was very helpful. Do you or anyone here find using the GoPro app on your iPad Pro usueful for much if you use SD card readers? Also, I have had some luck copying from the GoPro with a usbc to usbc cable. Still working through the best way to do this. Maybe SD card it seems. Thank you!
I think the main reason for 5k is if you anticipate cropping the video in post production and you need that quality to zoom in and not look pixely. Otherwise it’s a bit of an overkill for regular footage.
Hi Shawn, quick question; after editing a 5k video in this way, would you be able to upload directly to youtube from that app (and preserve 5k quality)? Or do you have to save it to the camera roll in order to upload-which down converts it again to 4k?
Did you find an answer to this question? Because I really need to know this before paying the 20 some dollars the app costs. How do I keep the 5k after editing on the app? Does it send it directly to TH-cam, or I have to save it as file and copy it into the computer? Please help!
@@CruzAstudillo never got an answer, and i never bought the app. I would imagine there are videos on TH-cam though, i mean about the Lumafusion app, i just haven’t bothered to check
I encountered same problem sir . I can't on my samsung phone the 4k footage of my gopro . it only play the audio and it's says video codec not supported . I hope you can help me
Hi Shawn! Awesome vids. Quick question for you. I'd like to be able to film a 2 hour event with a GoPro Hero 7. Can you recommend an external battery that could handle this task? Would the Anker PowerCore 20100 be enough? Would the 26800 be overkill? Thanks so much. We really enjoy your work.
All ur videos are very helpful I love that u get straight to the point n u r very professional I always come to u for any info I need I know ur hands very well thank u for everything u do
I’ve been having an unsupported media error between the GoPro 12 and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Any ideas why? I’ve searched and cannot find a solution. It does it with lower resolutions too. Only way around is downloading from Quik or sd card in the lightning adapter.
I think it’s just an unacceptable format. I’m going to research it a bit and try to use handbrake to change it. I’ve had to do this before for other reasons
Hey, great video. Have you tried to connect the hero 9 with a usb c cable for file transfers? Like to slim down the amount of converters and adapters when traveling. There has been some troubles with earlier GoPro models. Thanks.
Once we are able to load the video in 5K to LumaFusion, does 5k allows me better cropping resolution in LF For later uploading to TH-cam within the app? I know when cropping we lose resolution (pixels ), but I would think 5k video cropped would retain the 4k quality when it’s later uploaded to YT?
My sd shows up on files app as untitled. When I click on it , it disappears. And it will pop back up as untitled and disappeared evertime I try to Import. Any idea why
I try and IMPORT my 4k 60 footage from my gopro 9 black to my 2018 ipad using the sd card method, but it only imports like every other one, and it won't import but just a couple videos out of 4. Do you have anything on this??. Thank you
I am not filming in 5k but i cannot get my videos to upload on my ipad pro 64GB (1st generation) I use the sd card reader. Is the camera or Ipad the problem?
How do I keep the 5k after editing on the app? Does it send it directly to TH-cam, or I have to save it as a file and copy it into the computer? Please help! I don’t understand how to maintain the 5k if we still editing and saving on iOS.
Love your videos. Very simple and to the point but also full of good solid info. Awesome to hear you edit all of your content on mobile. Two questions: 1) do you find lumafusion to be better than Adobe Rush? 2) you say you are using a GoPro to shoot your videos.. what are you using to shoot the tutorial part as in this video? it looks so clear and great
I use quik the most it does take time A ton of time but I have videos scheduled out for 6 or so months so the time isn't a big deal for me because I normally do 40 videos a month or so and edit them later when I'm not busy working
My question is when I try to film something on my GoPro hero 9 and I want to view it on my phone at the same time while it’s recording, it says video is unavailable. What do I do?
Trying to pair my Gopro 9 with my Ipad but it will not enable preview so that I can view the recording on my ipad. I was able to pair completely with my iphone. Please help!
I guess it just depends if you like some of the new features like the front screen. There’s not a massive upgrade and quality of content that you film.
Thanks for the Video - Do you have any clips on your workflow with iPad pro?? - I'm looking to update some gear and wondering if the iPad pro is capable for video editing and PP for Stills?? or go for MacBook Pro? I'm usually travelling on a Bike, so form factor (size and weight) is a big consideration. What editing software do you use? Thanks in advance and keep up the great work :) Cheers.
stephen hammond he uses Luma fusion and I would recommend pp any day. It’s so much more powerful and the pc effect is amazing. Also better transition packs and text packs and all that stuff are avalible on pp. also for stills I’d recommend light room
I have transferred my 5k video from GoPro to the GoPro app then transferred it to /on my iPad in files ..then opened LumaFusion/files..the video is there but its in 3840 ,,,2160 ,,could you please tell me what I’m doing wrong..thanks
you have to bypass the gopro app because it will downsample it to a compatible format. you want to use a card reader and plug it directly into your iPad and then copy it to the files app
HI, In terms of audio quality, can we plug in our Saramonic to this new go prow? I used to use my Osmo Pocket with DJI audio in and I've been thinking of buying a GoPro9. Would you share your thoughts about the audio and if we are capable of attaching external mic? Never had a gopro. Thanks
@@SilverfoxJB I would. The problem is that I used my osmo along with water proof case (completely sealed and secure), but the water went inside and my osmo is dead. They did not consider warranty (my osmo is 6 months old), so I need to buy another thing.
Hello, I cannot transfer 5k footage from the hero 9 to my iPad Pro 2020. Either through the photo app or files. You can thx to this adaptor right ? Which model is it ? TIA
You are correct it will not export 5K. Do you only benefit OK importing 5K is that when downsized it tends to be better quality. Similar to how when you downsize 4K to 1080 it’s much crisper. They can also give you more flexibility with cropping and zooming in

My editing rig is a water cooled Intel i9-9900k with 5.1ghz all cores overclock, 1080ti video card, 32gb ram, NVME m.2 drives and just watching the HEVC/H265 100k bitrate 5k30 Hero 9 footage ramps up my cooling fans and makes 60-75% CPU usage on all 8 cores. I can edit the 5k30, 100mb bitrate footage on Premier just fine though. It might be time to retire the toys for editing and step up to something with a bit more power, if you want to effectively edit your 5k footage.
That should suck if no other devices with the ability to play higher resolution than 4K can't render the GoPro Hero 9 Black's 5K video footages, what about with some smartphones also claims to record videos in 8K or other higher resolution cameras? Is there a Windows 10 compatible player for 5K & 8K or an 8K TV?
I’m pretty confident some android devices would be able to handle 5K footage with no issue. Technically the iPad can handle it for some reason Apple limits it.

I wish GoPro gave us 4k 60ps with superview... I mean it is an action camera, and I want higher frame rate for shots I render in slow motion... I was content with 4k, 5k, only good for zooming into the shot with lumafusion.
I just got my hero 9 and have been messing around with it....realizing than none of my apps can import any 5k videos yet so probably gonna stick to 4k and under for now. Did you ever find a solution?
Mine too.. I have a 4 year old mac, and it’s super super studdery when playing back... I was thinking of upgrading to a new Mac, but this guy kinda makes me want to get an iPad Pro...
You shouldn’t be screwed, from what he is saying you can load it to an editing app like lumafusion on your iPad,and from there export it in 4k. He is showing how you can bypass iPad to get it to lumafusion to do this.

I don’t get what the big obsession is with people being obsessed with 4K & now 5K I’m quite content with 1080p
agree
Forreal Lmaoo it’s BARELY noticeable if at all

So once you use the card reader to import photos/videos are you able to move them back to the Sd card or some other form of external storage??

Hey what iPad is that??🤔🤔
Hi we can do the same with gopro 11 footage that is at HEVC format?
Do you have to have fusion on your iPad or iMovie would work
Are you able to do this same transfer (without losing quality) with the new IPad mini/ IPad Air?
I have the same problem with 4k 60fps with iPad 9th Gen. Does this workaround work with these settings too?
Can you still do this on the 1st generation iPad Pro 12.9 Inches
Why is the bitrate of the 5k30 the same as 4k30? Wouldnt it make sense if it would be higher?
Any advice on playing it on a 5k Samsung TV? It won’t play time lapses or 5k footage where my previous tv would play 4K. The current tv supports HEVC
I think it’s just an unacceptable format. I’m going to research it a bit and try to use handbrake to change it. I’ve had to do this before for other reasons
